Unenclosed hut circle settlement on Waupley Moor is a Bronze Age settlement located approximately 800 metres south-west of Clay Hall Farm in Yorkshire. The site comprises a cluster of hut circles representing domestic occupation from the Bronze Age period, characteristic of upland pastoral communities that utilised moorland resources during prehistory. The unenclosed nature of the settlement indicates a form of organisation typical of Bronze Age moorland exploitation, where hut circles were arranged without surrounding defensive or boundary structures. The archaeological remains survive as earthwork features on the moor surface, providing evidence of settlement patterns and land use practices in the Pennine uplands during the later prehistoric period.
